Online Business Ideas After Lockdown From Home

About this video

The creator lists five online business ideas after lockdown. First, Merch by Amazon: upload a design, Amazon handles customer service and shipping, and the seller collects a royalty; products mentioned include standard and premium t-shirts, v-necks, tank tops, long sleeves, sweatshirts, pullover and zip-up hoodies, PopSockets and newly released cell phone cases. The creator claims he has sold over 150k in royalties over about four years, while warning competition has grown and running ads and picking low-competition niches help get a head start. Second, Amazon KDP: publish coloring books, log books, lined journals and higher-content books such as cookbooks with no inventory or customer service, but customize interiors rather than uploading ready-made files unchanged if you want to stand out long term; he says two of three books he published recently made sales four days later. Third, Etsy, including print-on-demand, masks, shirts and handmade goods — fun and learnable for ranking, but sellers must be ready for heavy customer-service messages. Fourth, selling masks online and B2B, including logo masks and entry-requirement signs for local grocery stores and restaurants. Fifth, selling on Amazon via FBA, dropshipping, private label, print on demand, retail arbitrage and online arbitrage, checking for a consistent/low BSR and avoiding competing directly with Amazon itself.

Key takeaways

  • Merch by Amazon and KDP remove inventory and customer service; income comes from royalties on Amazon-handled sales
  • Low-competition niche selection and ads matter more on Merch by Amazon as competition has grown
  • On KDP, customize interiors and covers instead of re-uploading ready-made files if you want a long-term edge
  • Etsy can drive strong traffic once ranking is learned, but a hit product brings heavy customer-service demand
  • For Amazon selling/arbitrage, check BSR consistency and compete with third-party sellers, not Amazon itself
